- Ascribe
to the Lord the glory due to His name
This integral part of worship is fulfilled
when we appear before the Lord at His appointed times. For thus says the Lord;
“You shall keep My Sabbaths and reverence My sanctuary: I am the LORD” (Leviticus
19:0; 26:2).
The glory due to the name of the
Lord is ascribed to Him when His Sabbaths are observed, because His Sabbaths
honor and glorify Him for what transpired on that particular day, for example:
The seventh day weekly Sabbath honors Him as the Creator, the Passover and days
of Unleavened bread honors Him as the Redeemer and Savior; the feast of First
Fruits which is the Sunday that falls during the days of Unleavened Bread
honors Him as the Resurrection and the life;
Pentecost which is fifty days
after the feast of first fruits which is also on a Sunday, honors Him as our
Helper, Comforter, Teacher and Guide; the feast of trumpets which is the first
day of the seventh month, honors Him as our Conqueror and Deliverer, the Day of
Atonement honors Him as our Mediator and High Priest, the Feast of Tabernacles honors
Him as the King of kings and Lord of lords, commemorating the day of His human
birth, the day we received our permanent dwelling and the Eighth Day honors Him
as our circumcision and the Eternal God, the day Gentles became no longer
strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of
the household of God.
Each appointed time therefore,
ascribes to the Lord the honor and glory due to Him for what He accomplished
for humanity on that particular day and serves as a memorial throughout the
generations.
